Private Equity Senior Consultant at Walker Hamill
REF: HC53689
Job Title: Analyst
Employment Type: Permanent
Location: Central London
Salary Guide: Competitive
An early-stage venture capital firm is seeking a highly motivated Analyst to join its investment team. With a strong track record to date and a new fund to be launched in the coming months, this is a rare opportunity to gain hands-on experience in all aspects of early-stage investing - from sourcing and evaluating start-ups to supporting portfolio companies post-investment.
The firm was established by a high profile founder in 2021 and has since built out a presence in New York, and with an increasing amount of investments coming out of Europe, they are eager to expand their presence in London. They target Series A and Series B investments, with capital deployment ranging between $1 – 7m.
Capacity in the team means they have a gap for someone coming from a strong finance background, likely audit & ACA trained with a minimum of 2 years in a transactions role.
As part of a small, high-performing team, you will be immersed in the venture ecosystem, working directly with experienced investors, founders, and ecosystem partners.
Responsibilities
The duties and responsibilities for this Analyst role include, but are not limited to:
* Source and evaluate new investment opportunities across Europe, particularly in pre-seed and seed-stage start-ups.
* Conduct market research, competitive analysis, and due diligence to support investment decisions.
* Assist in preparing investment memos and materials for internal discussions.
* Work with founders post-investment to add value, track progress, and identify follow-on opportunities.
* Attend pitch events, demo days, and ecosystem gatherings to stay close to emerging trends and start-ups.
* Contribute to fund initiatives, portfolio reviews, and operational processes.
Skills
The skills and experience required for this Analyst role include, but are not limited to:
* Audit trained ACA, with 2+ years post-qualified experience in a transactions role.
* Excellent financial analysis and commercial acumen.
* Good research, writing, and communication skills.
* Highly proficient in Excel and comfortable working with data.
* Ability to manage time, juggle multiple projects, and take initiative in a fast-paced environment.
